is it wise to let a mess of ladybugs loose in a 10x20 greenhouse? I live
in
central Florida.

Ladybugs do a wonderful job of eating thousands of garden and crop
pests such as aphids, green flies, mealybugs and other scale insects.
One ladybug can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day!

Do not be disappointed when after a few days your lady bugs just disappear.
Once they have eaten all the available food they take off for better
foraging.

Cool little bugs to begin with.
